Introducing Channels
May 15th, 2007
For a while now we’ve been laboring away quietly on a new feature, Channels.
Channels enable multiple people to post to the same Jaiku stream. To start posting to a channel, go to its page, click Join, and type your message in the field that appears.
Channels offer a way to participate in conversations without broadcasting the messages to all your followers, because the Jaikus and comments that you post to a channel show up on the channel only – your personal stream at yourname.jaiku.com stays untouched. If you think your followers should follow the conversation, tell them to join the channel :)
Soon everyone will be able to create channels freely, but before that’s ready, you can join the channels that we’ve created. Click the new “Channels” link in the top navigation to see the directory of currently available channels.
To post to a channel by SMS from your phone, text #channelname followed by your message to +46 73 74 94 05 01 +46 49 47 37 05 01(or 17273 in Finland). For example: #buzzoutloud Hello everyone!
We really appreciate your comments and suggestions for improving the alpha, so feel free to post away on the Jaiku Support and Ideas channel.
We’re still working on moderation for channels, so please be aware that at this point the channels are not moderated. If you want to report abuse or file a bug, please email us at bugs at jaiku dot com.
In other news, this week we’re working on a bunch of UI fixes to the Overview page. I’ll blog about those as soon as we’re ready to update the site.
Have a great week everyone!
